Tribune Broadcasting and CBS Television Distribution are joining forces to develop a late-night talk show starring comedian Arsenio Hall.

The new show scheduled to launch in fall 2013 on 17 Tribune stations inlcuding WPHL in Philadelphia, announced John Nogawski, President of CTD. The new show also will air on Tribune-owned WPIX in New York, as well as CBS stations in Pittsburgh and Atlanta.

Hall, who recently was the winner of NBC‟s “Celebrity Apprentice,” hosted the Emmy Award-winning late night talk show “The Arsenio Hall Show,” from 1989 to 1994. The show became a cultural touchpoint in June 1992 when then-presidential candidate Bill Clinton appeared on the show and played “Heartbreak Hotel” on the saxophone.

The show will be taped each day in Los Angeles and will be an updated version of Hall's successful 90’s late night show.

“We‟re excited to welcome Arsenio back to the family and partnering on his new, late-night syndicated talk show,” Nogawski said. “Years ago, he transcended time periods and attracted a cross-over audience while bringing a fresh perspective to late night. We are looking forward to the same success with Arsenio's seasoned expertise and appeal in this genre.”

“It's an amazing feeling to be goinghome to my old friends and colleagues and firing up our "Night Thing,‟” Hall said.

Tribune plans to continue to develop first-run, original programming, said Sean Compton, President of Programming and Entertainment, Tribune Broadcasting.

Hall began his career in stand-up comedy, and soon caught the eye of television executives who tapped him for guest appearances on shows such as “Solid Gold” and “The Tonight Show With Johnny Carson,” which led to his hosting Fox‟s “The Late Show” in 1997.In addition to his stand-up and hosting work, Hall established a career as an actor in movies such as “Coming to America” and TV shows such as the CBS dramedy “Martial Law.”CBS Television Distribution produces or distributes 13 first-run series including "Judge Judy,""Dr. Phil," "Wheel of Fortune," "Jeopardy!" "Rachael Ray," "Entertainment Tonight," "Inside Edition," and "Judge Joe Brown."
